In the text entry field there seems to be a few bugs. I cannot set the font size larger than 96. I have manually entered 220 (which shows), and on publish it is showing at about 96.
The justification seems to be broke, if I set it centre justified then click on and off the control it goes back to right justified.
If I format the textbox to show as middle alignment the text entry is still at the top of textbox on publish
Also whilst I am at this, there is a bit on inconsistency, in freeform text entry I can set the key that causes the control to lose focus. I dont get any options to do this on a standard text entry box. This means if I keep pressing enter (I would expect the user to press enter) I get scrollbars starting to appear.
Just a little frustrating, I cannot use the freeform question because the user can type anything. I also cannot use a submit button. A bit more flexibility here would help
I also note that if I then set a reference in a textbox I also cannot increase this textsize above 96, it will allow me to type in the value but will not display on the screen when published, that's workaround 1 broken as well
OK no this is becoming a problem now, it looks like if a user does not have the font I used installed on their machine, it is defaulting to times new roman for text entry fields, and references it looks awful

Hey Phil,
Couple questions:
1. Is there a need to have the text entry at 200pt. Will 96pt not work with your design?
2. What font are you trying to use other than standard web friendly fonts? Arial, Articulate, Verdana, Tahoma, Georgia, etc.?
Not that I have any real solutions other than trying to learn more about what you're trying to do.
Hi Kevin
I am using Gotham Bold, this is the font the graphic designer chose and I have to use it.
I am doing a 1920x1080 design and the font needs to match the size of an object on the other side of the slide which is 220.
Basically they enter their answer on the left and then click the right to reveal the correct answer.
96 is just too small on the HD screen, I dont think it is too much to ask for
I would have thought the fonts would be embedded in the flash files, it is what I would have done if I built a text entry field
I understand this would be a problem for html5 or iOS but I intend this to only run in flash
